(f) Self-reporting. (1) Individuals who have regular contact with children under 18 years of age in DoD-sanctioned programs who have a completed background check are required to immediately report subsequent automatic disqualification criteria under paragraph (c)(1) of this section and presumptive disqualification criteria under paragraphs (c)(2)(i), (iv), and (v) of this section. (2) The DoD Components will establish procedures for: (i) Informing individuals of the requirement to immediately report any incident or conviction that may invalidate their prior background check and make them ineligible to work or have contact with children. (ii) Responding to and evaluating reports made by such individuals, and taking appropriate action until the case has been resolved or closed. (g) Eligibility to perform duties under LOSS. The DoD Components will establish Component-specific procedures, policies, and requirements, subject to the requirements of this paragraph, to permit applicants for whom a criminal history background check has been initiated but not yet completed, to perform duties under LOSS upon favorable findings of preliminary investigations. (1) No presumption of right. No individual will be permitted to perform duties under LOSS in a position subject to criminal history background check without authorizing policy or other written permission from a DoD Component head. (2) Preliminary investigations required. No individual will be permitted to perform duties under LOSS in a position subject to criminal history background check unless the following investigative elements have been reviewed and determined favorably: (i) An IRC, including installation law enforcement records check, drug and alcohol records, and FAP records check for a minimum of 2 years before the date of the application if the individual has a preexisting DoD affiliation. (ii) Initial results from the advanced FBI fingerprint criminal history background check (not the full check). (3) Exception for non-specified volunteers. Due to the controlled, limited duration of an activity for these individuals, an advanced FBI VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:04 Sep 16, 2015 Jkt 235001 fingerprint criminal history background check is not required. Non-specified volunteers will be permitted to perform duties and services under LOSS for the duration of the activity. (4) Supervisor requirements. The supervisor must be a person who: (i) Has undergone and successfully completed the required background check. (ii) Has complied, as required, with the periodic reinvestigation requirement for a recurring criminal history background check. (iii) Has not previously exhibited reckless disregard for an obligation to supervise an employee, contractor, or volunteer. (5) Video surveillance. The use of video surveillance equipment to provide temporary oversight for individuals whose required background checks have been initiated but not completed is acceptable provided it is continuously monitored by an individual who has undergone and successfully completed all required background checks. This provision shall meet the intent of a flexible and reasonable alternative for ‘‘direct sight supervision.’’ (6) Conspicuous identification of individuals subject to LOSS. Individuals permitted to perform duties solely under LOSS must be conspicuously marked by means of distinctive clothing, badges, wristbands, or other visible and apparent markings. The purpose of such markings must be communicated to staff, customers, parents, and guardians by conspicuous posting or printed information. (7) Permissible performance of duties without supervision. Individuals otherwise required to perform duties only under LOSS may perform duties without supervision if: (i) Interaction with a child occurs in the presence of the child’s parent or guardian; (ii) Interaction with children is in a medical facility, subject to supervisory policies of the facility, and in the presence of a mandated reporter of child abuse; or (iii) Interaction is necessary to prevent death or serious harm to the child, and supervision is impractical or unfeasible (e.g., response to a medical emergency, emergency evacuation of a child from a hazardous location).
